As...THe Puck story is one of my favorite memories.<br /><br />As far as the speech, there is a scene in "Renaissance Man" in which Gregory Hines' drill sergeant is trying to ridicule the recruits taking Danny DeVito's class. He demands of his recruits to quote Shakespeare to prove its not a waste of time. (They are actually studying "Hamlet") Only Lillo Brancato's recruit character puts Hines in his place by quoting the second half of the Henry V speech. I wanted to post a piece on the movie for the blogathon, but I don't have it and neither does my library.Quiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434473473185065992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-20364483081106742442019-02-22T15:10:19.961-06:002019-02-22T15:10:19.961-06:00Puck is so fun!

(Actually, he's gone on to act in movies -- even had a small role in the newest Lone Ranger movie that I adore.) Totally made me a fan of Puck.<br /><br />And your bear does sound extremely Puckish.<br /><br />Things with that "To quote Hamlet..." thing on them always crack me up :-)<br /><br />And the St. Crispin's Day speech is just one of the best things ever written in the English language. I got goosebumps reading it here. Good, good stuff.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-9837911933169299342019-02-16T12:37:27.625-06:002019-02-16T12:37:27.625-06:00I did Forbidden Planet already or I might have tak...I did Forbidden Planet already or I might have taken that route. I'm striving hard not to do double duty on films I've already reviewed even if a new angle opens up.

I would fight for the king who gave me that speech. I've read Midsummer's Night Dream in school, but have not seen that one. I should give it another chance! I was really hoping somebody would review Forbidden Planet and its origins in The Tempest, but alas, no one did that this go-around. Maybe next blogathon!DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.com
